Brief personal introduction:

I am a 2nd Grade Teacher at Bonduel Elementary. I will be in my fourth year at Bonduel and just finished up on my Reading 316 License.


Overview of content/topic level of unit plan:

  • Include: Pumpkin Crazy Grade: 2
  • Pumpkin Estmation (Counting of the Seeds), Measurement, Research on Pumpkins
  • This unit will be introduced in the month of October for Halloween. Students would be able to research, talk about, discuss, create high-level thinking questions, and explore pumpkins. During this unit, our main focus will be the book, How many Seeds in a Pumpkin?, and from this we will talk about how we can estimate how many seeds will be in a pumpkin taking into consideration the size, weight, and the knowledge that they have gained from a pre-selected book bin. We are also going to be taking a virtual field trip to another state where they grown pumpkins to see the uses and the production.
